ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[CA 102-1-6744b; FRL-5120-2]

 

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Bay Area Air Quality 
Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from Metal Container, Closure, and Coil 
Coating, Solvent Cleaning Operations, and Pressure Relief Valves at 
Petroleum Refineries and Chemical Plants.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the state's SIP 
revisions as direct final rules without prior proposal because the 
Agency views these as noncontroversial revision amendments and 
anticipates no adverse comments. Detailed rationale for these approvals 
are set forth in the direct final rules. If no adverse comments are 
received in response to these proposed rules, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to these rules. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, the direct final rules will be withdrawn and all public 
comments received will be addressed in subsequent final rules based on 
the proposed rules. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on these proposed rules must be received in writing by 
January 9, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Daniel A. Meer, Rulemaking Section (A-5-3), Air and Toxics Division, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street,
